Jon backed up against the wall, totally intimidated by the hot hooker trying to lean in to kiss him. Part of him wondered what the ramifications of having sex with this woman would be, while another part of him thought about just giving in. After all, the police thought Life Lessons was a good idea, right? Although, he had a feeling that maybe they didn't think that hookers would be involved.
"Come on, kiss me," Rita said, leaning in closer. "You know you want to."
Elsewhere in the house, Nikki Farber was showing Zoe her bedroom, which made the Goth girl want to throw up. It was so bubbly and sickeningly pink and cute ... just like Nikki. She still couldn't believe she was going along with this.
"You know what? I think jail time is preferable," Zoe said, then turned to leave the bimbo's bedroom.
But Nikki cut her off and pushed her away from the door. "Oh, come on, silly. It's not gonna be so bad."
"Get your hands off me," Zoe snapped, looking at Nikki with daggers in her eyes.
"Oh come on, this is gonna be, like, such an improvement for you. You'll finally stop looking like a vampire and actually look like a girl. It's gonna be, like, so totally cool."
Zoe grunted. She really wanted to be somewhere else right now. Like maybe hanging out with her friends Athena and Zelda at the Spiked Pit. She took her cellphone out to see if one of her friends called her. They probably wondered where she was.
"What's that?" Nikki asked, looking at Zoe's black-colored phone.
"I'm just ..."
"Oh, no, no, no, no, no," Nikki said, snatching the phone out of the Goth girl's hand.
"Hey, what the fuck are you doing?"
"You're not supposed to have any communication with your old life."
"You mean my current life," Zoe stated.
"Your old life," Nikki repeated, then continued. "Unless I allow you to."
"Then allow me to," Zoe said. "Athena and Zelda ..."
"Ugh, you're not listening to me. You're not supposed to have any contact with those freaky friends of yours. From now on, you can only have contact with the people that I say you can have contact with. In fact, Amber and Jessica are coming by really soon to pick me up. That means you can come with us to the mall," she said happily.
"The mall? No way. I'm not going to that fucking place."
Nikki's expression turned sour. "You're coming with us," she ordered. "You'll learn how fun shopping can be. And while we're there, we can get you a makeover. I'm sure there's an actual girl in there somewhere," she said, gesturing at Zoe.
From outside, they heard a honking horn.
"That's them!" Nikki said, excitedly. "Now come on."
Zoe rolled her eyes, then reluctantly followed the bubble-headed moron. Okay, she'd go shopping. But she wouldn't enjoy it.
